50th ANNIVERSARY HISTORIC "MARCH ON WASHINGTON!"

On August 28, 2013 citizens from across this country will converge upon our nation’s capital to commemorate and celebrate the 50^th anniversary of the historic March On Washington. This transcendent moment when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech challenged us all to dream a bigger dream for our nation and our lives. As we approach this day, at the Cincinnati Human Relations Commission we still marvel at all of the profound changes that the civil rights movement helped bring to our nation & we honor the memory of those of every race, ethnicity, gender and religion who fought for civil rights. We also renew our commitment to live up to the dream that Dr. King articulated that day and remain steadfast in our efforts to help our community to overcome prejudice and discrimination; and build mutual respect and understanding. During the most critical of times, CHRC has always been there turning the community’s needs into action and connecting cultures and communities & our work continues to address modern day human and civil rights.
